High Trapeze in the parlour: a taste of the house concert sound


We've played some tremendous gigs in the past year, on big stages at home and abroad, and to big audiences indoors and out, in clubs, at festivals, in bars, in theatres, and in a handful of house concerts in the the UK and USA.

The unamplified house concerts have a special quality all of their own. They're intimate and memorable. Nothing beats playing and singing up close and personal, close enough for the us all, band and audience alike, to really engage.

There's no hiding. It's a little terrifying, but we've loved the experience and are looking forward to doing more this year.

So if you're a house concert organiser, or even if you've never done it before but like the idea of original music in your home for your friends and family, then please do contact us. We'd love to play for you.

Here's just a little taste of the 'parlour' sound. This is High Trapeze, recorded in front of an open fire on a very chilly winter's afternoon in Norfolk. You can hear the studio version on our album King Snake, Devil Shake, but we hope you enjoy this live acoustic version too.
